Bring Back The Bruise Bros

Any updates on which rookies he plans on keeping and which ones he wants to deal?

Abby needs a partner in crime in the fighting department,and from the looks of the Nill interview,Detroit is well aware of this.

I don't get it either.Who would want a guy that can skate fairly well,hit,put up some points,and fight?wow..seriously??who needs well-rounded players.

L.A. Is gonna make a big splash this offseason.

Most likely someone "close to the source" but maybe it was Nill.could be wrong.

This is good news for me too.

I know.there's too many guys (Cooke,Artyukhin,Burrows) that are spineless pricks and fight with a shield on.

Without the visor,please and thank you.

I do,but I feel there are better options out there.

Brian Burke will find a way to get him in Toronto.Damn you Burkie.

I know hardly anything about this McIlrath kid.From the sounds of it,he's a tough guy?????

I think this could be Filppula's breakout year.If he can stay healthy,70 points seems realistic.

What I'm trying to get as is this:I don't want him on the team at all.

My thoughts exactly.Nobody wants to break a hand on a windshield.

Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Filppula-Zetterberg-Hudler Cleary-Helm-? ?-Abdelkader-Eaves

Good.I'm really excited to see what these kids can do. If Abdelkader is gonna fight,he needs to drop the bucket before he starts throwing every time.

Will we at least see this Ferraro kid in preseason action?what about Mitchell Callahan and Brendan Smith?

I'd be happy with Moreau,but I think were gonna go in the direction of a younger guy.

Give me a tough guy first,then we will discuss this.

KHL

For whatever reason,if Bert isn't re-signed,anyone have a wish list?Guys right off the top of my head are: Owen Nolan Mike Comrie Colby Armstrong Alexander Steen (If not re-signed by St.Louis.I believe he's an RFA) Arron Asham (Maybe he could play a 3rd line role.Won't put up as many points as Bert,but more gritty and defensively responsible) David Clarkson (If not re-signed by New Jersey.he's got offensive potential) With Hudler coming back I expect Bert (or FA signing) to play mostly 3rd line minutes. Thoughts?Suggestions??

With Montreal buying out his contract and sending him home early last year,has anyone heard any news about Georges Laraque as far as the upcoming offseason goes?will he call it a career or test the free agent waters?And with the Rangers stating Donald Brashear is not in their future plans,has there been any updates on his situation?Will NY just trade him or bury him in the minors?

Now that I think about it,I actually kinda miss the hell-raising spaz

I can't wait for the day that Patrick Kane gets his ass handed to him.I want someone like McGrattan or Boogaard to just absolutely kick the s*** outta him.One of the top 5 punkass princesses of the league.

I suppose they could follow in the footsteps of Chris Simon.
